1. My birthday went well - in the morning we spent a brief time at the local Salvation Army group, who were preparing for an evening gathering of singing, etc. We had lunch at The Winery, where the food was wonderful (barring one or two errors) and the cost slightly high - we're going back on Saturday after a celebratory 'birthday cake' failed to arrive and we received vouchers instead. I received several cards and small gifts, later including a new tripod for the camera - fantastic! Now we're looking at a new camera in the near future.

2. We've signed up with Bannatyne's Health Club, and have already gone in for a few swimming sessions, with induction at the gym to follow soon. I'm really impressed with how the recovery is progressing of late, hopefully we'll be stepping things up in the coming months.

2. Finally - the subwolf.org domain expires on the 15th, and we will need to find alternate hosting. This will begin in the next few days, following a full backup and test setup on the new server. Stay tuned.

Ah, so. Yes, soon I will turn 30. Yep, 30, the big three-zero. And what is it like to celebrate this momemtus occasion? A little depressing actually. I hoped to still be in California, dating a cute girl and making serious cash... but it didnt turn out that way. Instead I sit here in my parents home, typing with one hand - the other sits in my lap but doesnt dare attempt anything major yet - and trying every day to make my own body work a little better for me. It's all about reminding it how everything works, and how to work correctly.

Things will improve. I know they will. I have resolve. Tomorrow we're going to buy a tripod for my camera. Then I'll have an easier time recording blog entries or getting difficult shots, provided both fit in the car ok anyway.

I'll post again tomorrow evening, let you know how it all went. Going out to a local restaurant for a big meal, and much more.

Till then, au revoir.
